The Washington State minimum wage is set to increase to $15.74 per hour on January 1, 2025. This will be the highest minimum wage in the United States, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the state’s economy.
The minimum wage increase is part of a larger trend towards higher wages for low-wage workers. In recent years, several states and cities have passed laws raising the minimum wage, and the federal government is also considering raising the minimum wage.
